Frequently Asked Questions

For maximum heat insulation, use a heavyweight polyester with a 3-pass acrylic coating or a high-density Triple Weave fabric. These materials stop convection currents and keep indoor temperatures stable.
Lined or interlined blockout curtain fabrics provide the highest insulation performance and help reduce heat loss during cold ACT nights.
Yes. Properly fitted, made to measure curtains can reduce draughts and improve thermal comfort, particularly in homes with large windows.
Custom made curtains provide a precise fit, improved insulation, better drape and a more refined finish compared to ready made options.
High quality fabrics are selected for UV resistance to withstand strong Australian sunlight while maintaining colour integrity.
No. Sheer curtains provide excellent daytime privacy but become transparent at night when indoor lights are on. We recommend layering sheers with a blockout lining for 24-hour privacy.
Generally, S-Fold curtains require a fullness ratio of 2.0 to 2.5 times the track width. This ensures the “wave” remains consistent even when the curtains are closed.
Yes. While 100% linen is beautiful, it is prone to “growing” (stretching) in humidity and fading in the sun. Linen-look polyesters provide the same aesthetic but offer better UV resistance and dimensional stability.
